And the newly minted "exciting" three on three OT, to me this is where Desjardins needs some guidance and cajones.

Enough playing it safe OT, the 3 on 3 is a lot different than 4 on 4 where you can still play a chess like game, but 3on3 is all out speed and skill, the true game changers will thrive in this atmosphere.

So much space in this new format it's the gamebreakers that need to be in on this, so imo WD needs to get McCann out there a lot.

I'd combine vets with youth for the trio's:

1) Sedins - Hutton

2) McCann - Vrbata - Edler

3) Baertschi - Horvat - Weber

4) Burrows - Sutter - Hutton

I'd put the three best shots on the team together out there

Vrbata - McCann - Weber

What I've seen 3-3 is teams get a lot of looks at the net with no traffic in front - give any of of them a couple of cracks and good things will happen.

This has been tried. It fails epically. Henrik maintains his level of play but Dank disappears. They are both good playmakers, but Daniel's playmaking is more away from the puck, and transitioning the first pass, than with the puck. He's been the "tac or toe" in tic-tac-toe for too long.
